"Welcome home Eleanor."
Dr. Marrow (Liam Neeson) is conducting experiments into the effects of fear. To do so he recruits a number of people to stay in a deserted house, telling them that he is studying sleep disorders. These include Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Nell (Lili Taylor) and Luke (Owen Wilson). Obviously things soon take a turn for the worse, as Nell's presence in the house has some strange effects.
Remake of the 1963 original. De Bont has produced a suspenceful horror, just not one as creepy as the original. For unlike the original, this version has money and technology, so instead of a film that leaves it to your imagination, this shows far too much, disipating the chills.
